Reactions to Jahoski’s Travel to Turkiye with Temporary Travel Document

Pucko Petrol owner Asmir Jahoski, who’s among the suspects in Mazut case, spent four days in Turkiye at a celebration, using a temporary travel document issued by the Interior Ministry, following a previously adopted decision by the Court of Appeals.

“The person you are inquiring about exited North Macedonia at the Bogorodica crossing on 30 May 2025 and returned on 2 June 2025 through the same crossing. Namely, the person exited the country by using a travel document with limited validity issued by the Ministry, upon a previously adopted decision by the Court of Appeals, which gave consent to A.J. to be issued a travel document with limited validity”, the Ministry said on Monday.

Judges, according to the Court, on Thursday, agreed to accept the request for a temporary travel document that would be valid for six months.

“Judges were guided also by the opinions of the two prosecutors of the Prosecutor’s Office for Prosecution of Organised Crime and Corruption, as well as from the Higher Office. Both agreed to him being issued a passport, after he had submitted evidence of the reasons for the request”, the Court of Appeals said.

Also, on Monday, Jahoski reported himself to the Skopje Criminal Court, that is, he fulfilled his obligation to regularly report to such an institution in the frames of the investigation into the Mazut case.

Jahoski’s defence’s request for a temporary passport had been initially rejected by that Court. However, as a result of the appeal, the case was transferred to the Court of Appeals, which voiced a positive stand on the request.
